Here are some of the activities you can look forward to….
Braintastic – Amazing Animals
Sunday 4th August
In this interactive experience we showcase the super-smart abilities of the world’s most incredible animals. Featuring puzzles and tests for the whole audience to join in and challenge your own intelligence against amazing animals.
Amazing Air – how do we know it’s there?!
We are told air is all around us, but how do we KNOW? Where is the PROOF?!
In this interactive show with Dr Sarah Bearchall we’ll be working together to make some observations, then doing some experiments to touch, hear, see, smell and taste the air. We’ll gather lots of evidence to prove that really is there!
The Sonic Spider
Saturday 3rd & Sunday 4th August
Play and listen to ‘the world’s first eight-legged musical instrument’ and explore the mind of the female orb web spider through sound. For humans, listening to the sounds around us is the closest that we can come to entering the spider’s world of vibrations….
